Happy birthday, Ivan Zamorano! | OneFootball

Passion, determination and love for the shirt. Ivan Zamorano has written plenty of pages in Inter's history. Arriving from Real Madrid in the summer of 1996, the Chilean striker was a warrior capable of embodying the Club's values. A leader on and off the pitch, he was one of those players who transformed sacrifice and heart into footballing art.

He made 149 appearances for the Nerazzurri in all competitions and scored 41 goals, each of them imbued with that desire to fight that has always distinguished him. Among the many goals, those scored in the derby against AC Milan were very important, which he himself, a guest on Inter TV, commented on in this live reaction.

It is impossible not to remember the first goal on the magical night of 6 May 1998, when Inter raised the UEFA Cup to the sky after the 3-0 triumph against Lazio at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

And how could we not mention that number that is now legendary? The 1+8 shirt, a choice that became iconic, a sign of creativity and uniqueness that perfectly reflected the character of an extraordinary player who always gave everything for his fans.

On his 58th birthday, best wishes from the entire Nerazzurri family.
